H-Power is a UK-based, AIM-listed clean energy company developing zero-emissions hydrogen power systems. Using ammonia to produce low-carbon hydrogen at the point of need, and fuel cells to convert it into reliable, off-grid power, H-Power offers a scalable, practical alternative to fossil fuels, serving construction, infrastructure, transport and power generation sectors.
Behind the technology is a team driven by a shared purpose: to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
H-Power is looking for an experienced Senior Machinist to take a lead role in the Machine Shop. You'll manage CNC programming and operations, CAD/CAM design work and tooling management playing a vital part in delivering the high-precision components that underpin H-Power's clean energy technology.
This role would suit a skilled machinist who is comfortable working independently, contributing to design decisions and taking ownership of machine shop resources and output quality.
Responsibilities include:
* Programming, setting and operating 3 and 5-axis CNC machinery to produce high-precision components
* Using CAD/CAM software (Fusion 360 / SolidWorks) to create and optimise machining programmes, fixtures and components
* Machining complex prototype and low-volume components, including exotic and high nickel alloy materials
* Operating manual turning and milling machinery where required
* Managing tooling, materials and consumables inventory to support machine shop output
* Maintaining accurate machining records, crib sheets and build documentation
* Contributing to design reviews, manufacturability discussions and route-to-manufacture planning
* Supporting the development and continuous improvement of machine shop capability
* Supporting prototype builds, test hardware and subsystem manufacture as required
We’re keen to speak with people with experience in:
* Strong hands-on CNC machining experience, including 5-axis programming and operation
* CAD/CAM programming using Fusion 360, SolidWorks or similar
* Siemens and/or Mazatrol machine controls
* Machining precision prototype or low-volume engineered components
* Working with stainless steel, exotic alloys or high nickel materials
* Manual turning and milling to tight tolerances
* Inspection using standard metrology equipment
* Reading and interpreting engineering drawings
* Stable engineering/manufacturing background within aerospace, motorsport, defence, advanced manufacturing or similar precision engineering environments
